It won the OS wars on the server side, no question there! It works greats, serving all the SaaS platforms out there...

But as a desktop? Most of my colleagues are using apple hardware/MacOSX. Personally, I'm writing this on Ubuntu - I've been on Linux since forever.

Another one: Android. Built on top of Linux, its core is open source, but is it REALLY in the spirit of open source? One most new phones you cannot put LineageOS (I've always checking the list before I buy).

How does it help that I have the source of Linux and Android, but I'm still not able to build the OS for most mobiles?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not disillusioned with open source. Not at all. I love and appreciate the open source I have (this includes e.g. Rust) I'm just cautious about what the author of the article is foreseeing. You might have a vibrant community, doesn't mean its output won't get wrapped inside some SaaS/big corp.
